Swing chair

Abstract

A swing chair includes right and left support frames for pivotally mounting a swingable seat member therebetween, a table mounting shaft secured on and extending upwardly from an upper portion of one of the support frames, and a table member with a flat table portion which is swiveledly mounted on the table mounting shaft via a connecting shaft. As such, the flat table portion is turnable about a swivel axis in an upright direction to move to a position of use which is closer to a front portion of the seat member and to move away to a position of non-use which is remote from the front portion of the seat member. A locking member is disposed to lock releasably the connecting shaft on the table mounting shaft.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A swing chair comprising: 
 right and left support frames spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction, and each including a lower portion which is adapted to be laid on a ground surface, an upper portion which is disposed opposite to said lower portion in an upright direction transverse to the longitudinal direction, and front and rear portions which are disposed opposite to each other in a transverse direction relative to the longitudinal and upright directions and each of which is disposed between said upper and lower portions;    a swingable seat member including right and left swinging frames which are mounted pivotally and respectively on said upper portions of said right and left support frames about axes oriented in the longitudinal direction, and a seat frame which is interposed between and swingable with said right and left swinging frames and which extends in the longitudinal direction;    a table mounting shaft secured on and extending upwardly from said upper portion of one of said right and left support frames;    a table member including a flat table portion, and a connecting shaft having a proximate end connected to said flat table portion, and a distal end swiveledly mounted on said table mounting shaft about a swivel axis oriented in the upright direction so as to permit said flat table portion to turn about the swivel axis to move to a position of use which is closer to said seat frame and to move away to a position of non-use which is remote from said seat frame; and    a locking member disposed to lock releasably said distal end of said connecting shaft on said table mounting shaft.    
     
     
         2 . The swing chair of  claim 1 , wherein said table mounting shaft has a tubular mounting end and terminates at an upper abutting edge, said distal end of said connecting shaft being tubular and extending to terminate at a lower abutting edge which abuts against said upper abutting edge, and being formed with a first locking hole, 
 said locking member including 
 an insert tube having a lower portion inserted securely into said tubular mounting end, an upper portion inserted into and rotatable relative to said distal end of said connecting shaft, and a middle portion disposed between said upper and lower portions,  
 a locking stud having an inner portion which is mounted in and movable relative to said middle portion in a direction radial to the upright direction, and an outer portion extending from said inner portion and outwardly of said middle portion in the radial direction so as to extend into said first locking hole when said distal end of said connecting shaft is in the position of use, and  
 a biasing member disposed in said middle portion and biasing said inner portion of said locking stud outwardly and in the radial direction.  
   
     
     
         3 . The swing chair of  claim 2 , wherein said distal end of said connecting shaft is further formed with a second locking hole spaced angularly apart from said first locking hole such that said outer portion of said locking stud extends into said second locking hole when said distal end of said connecting shaft is in the position of non-use.  
     
     
         4 . The swing chair of  claim 1 , wherein said proximate end of said connecting shaft is detachably mounted on said flat table portion.
